I'm running Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS and I wish to upgrade to Kodi version 18.6.

I've performed the following steps

bash:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc/ppa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

Although there is a new version of Kodi available, it has been kept back. I run the following to have additional info:

bash:
sudo apt install kodi

And I get the folowing info:

bash:
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have

requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable

distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

or been moved out of Incoming.

The following information may help to resolve the situation:



The following packages have unmet dependencies.

 kodi : Depends: kodi-x11 (< 2:18.6+git20200301.0802-final-0bionic.1~) but it is not going to be installed

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Any idea how I can fix this?

Code:

sudo apt purge kodi\*
sudo apt install kodi

Don't be afraid of you setting and database and such. Those are not touched. If you want to be 200% sure, make a copy of your existing .kodi folder: cp -R ~/.kodi ~/kodi-backup

Tx - solved by purging and reinstalling.
